sometimes

so, there are times all i want to do is travel the world and take too many pictures, listen to great music, experience culture, dance my heart out, and eat new foods and enjoy good drinks. or to sit outside, soak up the sun and read a good book. or maybe go raining in the rain...yeah...that sounds nice.

just another normal day

valentines day, 2008, yay!!!!! to be honest i could care less. i have never been able to fully celebrate it in it's popular meaning, but i have reached the point, that after 23 years of living, i really don't care.

now, i don't want to be one of those who sits and feels sorry for themselves because of that, and i am not into the whole substituting it with other events or celebrations for singles or whatever...i just want it to be another normal day. i could sit here and write about how i wish things were different or that this day could mean something special to me, but i don't want to waste my time doing that. that would take up too much of my time and waste yours as well.

no, today is just another normal day. i will wear red (just because it is my favorite color) and i will wear black (just because it is another favorite color), and i plan to eat chocolate (just because i love chocolate), and i will listen to sweet music about love, life, and someone (just because i love all music), and i will appreciate the flowers growing outside my window (just because i love flowers). and i will look forward to my valentine's card from my grandma that has a dollar bill in it for a candy bar. and the text message from my mom and dad saying they love me. yes, that is what i love about this day.

have a great day.

hmmm....thoughts.

so, the saying...my body is a temple...is my motto for these next 40 days. as i wrote in my last blog, i am giving up certain things and adding certain things, all in the hopes to remind myself that my body is a temple. a temple of what, you may ask, well it is a temple of the holy spirit, created to do and fulfill the work that was laid out for me, and grow in health to live a full life. so, now that i just said that, i don't want to sound too christianese but, just a desire to be healthy.

anyways, i suck at blogging, i know...but here i go...not much going on...busy with work and school. i went and worked out this morning, it was good. i want to get a tennis rack or something and find a tennis buddy and go play tennis or something every week. not that i know how tom play tennis...i pretty much suck the three times i have tried it. but just to do something active.

hmmm...something to think about.

40 days

with lent beginning tomorrow, hear are my goals.

while i am not catholic, i do like to practice doing lent each year. the idea of giving up something to honor God, appeals to me. also, i know it can benefit me.

things i will not be intaking for the next 40 days:
-all soda
-all fast food
-all alcohol

i am hoping that these 40 days will help break some of the habbits i have of drinking soda and eating fast food, knowing that they are not good for me anyways. i have a goal this year to significantly loose some pounds and some inches. i have reached a weight i swore i would never become, therefore i am determined to give up these two things. as for the alcohol, i am giving that up because it also contributes to added calories i definitely dont need and so i can focus on the work load i have.

in this time i hope to also add some things in my life that i know i need to have to maintain a healthy body and soul. i am trying to keep on with my working out and even kick it up a notch. also, go to chapel on campus...so i dont have to make them up. (like i am doing now for last semester).

anyways, these are my goals for the next 40 days yet i hope it will go beyond these 40 days.
